That depends a lot on how heavy the trailer is, how fast I am going and how steep the hill is.  I generally use tow/haul for anything over 4,000lbs but override with manual shifting at times.  I never just lock out some gears because there are always some times when coasting that I want the highest gears available.  Sometimes with heavy loads on steep hills I force it to downshift all the way to first.
